TELUS Health Solutions Challenges Quebecers to Eat Healthy, Exercise and Maintain a Balanced Lifestyle with Motivational Text Messages during ACTI-MENU’s 5/30 Health and Wellness Challenge

Montreal, QC, January 6, 2010 – Remembering to eat their fruits and vegetables, to exercise daily and to strive for lifestyle balance just got easier for the first 1000 participants who register to receive text message support from TELUS as part of ACTI-MENU’s 2010 5/30 Health and Wellness Challenge! As a proud sponsor for this year’s health promotion campaign, TELUS Health Solutions will provide a motivational coaching service free to the first 1000 participants to register who are also TELUS Mobility clients.

Participants can register for the coaching service when they register for the Challenge. For six weeks, from March 1 to April 11, participants will receive a variety of text messages on their mobile device encouraging them to stick to their goal to eat at least five servings of fruits and vegetables, to exercise for at least 30 minutes a day for a minimum of fives days a week and to maintain a balanced lifestyle.

“We are delighted to be supporting ACTI-MENU in this important effort to help people in Quebec to get off the couch and adopt a healthier lifestyle that includes good-for-you foods, daily activity and stress management. As we all know, inactivity, poor eating habits and excessive stress are contributors to a number of serious health conditions that could be avoided by making a few simple changes,” said Helene Chartier, vice-president Marketing, TELUS Health Solutions. “At TELUS, we believe in providing easy-to-use web and mobile tools that truly enable individuals to proactively manage their health, prevent diseases and promote wellness.”

To take advantage of the coaching service is easy. All participants need is a mobile device with SMS capabilities and a TELUS Mobility account.
